Amphioxus

Online Britannica explains Amphioxus as small marine animals found widely in the coastal waters of the warmer parts of the world and less commonly in temperate waters. Both morphological and molecular evidence show them to be close relatives of the vertebrates. This creature is considered to be one of the first vertebrates. Below is a picture of an Amphioxus.
